    "content": "Government is a Build and Transfer (BT), Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) or Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) or what kind of contract it is. The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is a property of the Kenya Railways which is a public corporation. So, if they have assigned a management contract to the Chinese, then who sanctioned it? Managing a railway is not rocket science. A standard gauge railway is just a railway line that is a little broader than the old railway system that we had. So, why would we hand over an asset of this nature to the Chinese to manage? Third, all contracts and borrowings on such projects are long term. How come the SGR was commissioned and the loans are being paid immediately? Are these commercial or concessional loans? The Committee must find out this. Fourth, we must find out under what circumstances the Chinese are employed to work for Kenya Railways. The question is not about the management contract with the Chinese, but the Kenya Railways Corporation. I did not hear Sen. Sakaja state that they are also summoning the management of Kenya Railways Corporation."
